A U.S. Service member definitely got everyone's attention after he suddenly fainted outside the White House ahead of the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's arrival for a meeting in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump.

In the clip that surfaced on Wednesday on X from The Daily Wire reporter Kassy Akiva, several service members stand tall holding flags in anticipation of the South African leader's arrival, when one is spotted on camera hunching over before he shockingly falls flat on his back.

"A U.S. service member just fainted in front of the Oval Office while holding a flag," the reporter's post read. "Just watched this live as they're waiting for the South African president to arrive at the White House."

White House police rushed over to check on him as he lay there on the grass with the flag he was holding lying right next to him.

Three officers surrounded him, each checking to see if he was okay. One officer gently shook him to see if he was awake before two of the gentlemen began to loosen his tie and uniform, presumably to make sure that he was getting enough air. 

At one point, we see the service member slightly lift his head and look around, clearly trying to assess what he was doing on the ground.

"They helped him up and walked him somewhere else. That's all I know," the reporter later updated her post on X.

It was terrifying watching the service member go from standing proudly holding his tall flag to falling to the ground for no apparent reason.

The video looked eerily similar to when Fox News guest former Trump staffer Camryn Kinsey fainted on set during a live segment two weeks earlier.

It happened during a live episode of "Fox News @ Night" when Jonathan Hunt was hosting as the two were discussing former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden's appearance on "The View," with Kinsey talking about former Vice President Kamala Harris' loss to Trump.

"This is what they have to do, they have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign, they had a failed presidency," Kinsey said.

"They put her [Harris] as the border czar," she added. "She never went to the border. So this is about incompetency. It's not about, uh, ideology," 

The Fox News guest's voice then started to trail off as it appeared she was struggling to focus on what she wanted to say.

She then suddenly just fell out of her chair on set, as the host reacted in shock.

"Oh my goodness, we're just going to get some help for Camryn," Hunt said, before he decided it was time to throw to a commercial break.

When they came back on camera, the host announced that, "Camryn is up and moving, we have paramedics checking her out now. We will keep you updated. We wish her all the best."

Kinsey later posted on her Instagram about the scary moment but assured everyone she's taking it slow, but would be okay.
